4.18.4 Transporting the machine set
WARNING
Falling down of the machine
The lifting lugs on the machine are designed only for the weight of the machine. If a machine
set is lifted and transported on a single machine, this can lead to mechanical failure of the
lifting lug. The machine or machine set may fall. This can result in death, serious injury or
material damage.
● Do not lift machine sets by attaching lifting tackle to the individual machines.
● Use only the equipment provided, e.g. the openings or lugs on the base plates, for
transporting machine sets. Note the maximum capacity of the lifting lug.
Note
Place the machine in a secure and raised position
In order to obtain easy and safe access to the underside of the machine, place it in a secure
and raised position.
DANGER
Standing under suspended loads
If the lifting gear or load handling attachments were to fail, the machine could fall. This can
result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Never remain under or in the immediate vicinity of the machine when it is raised.
4.18.5 Storage
You must correctly store the machine if you do not install and use it after it has been delivered.
